In the early 17th century. Shame they weren't able to hang on and civilize the Muskovites. (They tried.) Life would be sooo much easier today.

I find amusing the lack of historical studies. When I was in one of Ivan’s churches around the Moscow ring, I noticed a cannon ball hole in the door- the plaque read it was a Lithuanian cannon ball when they marched on Russia.
Of course their invasion of Russia, Napoleon’s invasion and Hitler’s invasion failed, all three attempts….and somehow the collective West thinks they can destroy Russia? How about Peace and Trade?
